For your wedding or black tie event, are you planning to wear a boutonniere on your suit or tuxedo?  If so, make sure that someone knows how to properly pin it on you.

Pinning on a Boutonniere is Easier Than You Think

Pinning on a boutonniere may look tricky, but it is a lot easier than you think. Here are some quick and easy things to know. And, remember to avoid stabbing someone or popping off the head of the flower.

• Use two floral pins to pin on your boutonniere.
• Pin the boutonnière onto the left lapel of the tuxedo jacket or suit jacket
• When you pin on the boutonniere, follow the angle of the lapel. I recommend placing it above the buttonhole.
• To secure the boutonniere, insert a floral pin through the back of the lapel and into the boutonnière’s stem in one direction.
• With the second floral pin, you should insert it from the opposite direction to create a crisscross pattern for extra stability. 

Ask the Florist or Your Wedding Planner to Help You Pin on A Boutonniere

If your florist or wedding planner is available on your wedding day, they can take care of the boutonniere for you.
